1) day and night operation
2) guided missile fire on the move and from a stationary
position
3) significant increase in conventional ammunition firing range
4) target autotracking
5) mission backup by the Commander's station
6) effective circular observation

COMPONENTS:
1) Gunner's sight
2) Commander's sight
3) Monitor
4) Ballistic computer
5) Target autotracker
6) Weapon stabilizer
7) Atmosphere sensor
8) Cant sensor

Armament and FCS components modernization allow to cost-effectively increase T-55/T-62/T-72 performance up to modern MBT capabilities.
Guided missiles allow the modernized tank to engage enemy MBT by pre-emptive fire at a range of up to 6000 m, and thus to win the battle being beyond the enemy tank return-fire zone.
To integrate the guided weapon, it is not required to remanufacture the gun and the ammo racks, it does not change the tank envelope, and it allows to keep the in-service tank park as well as maintenance and repair structure.

@franknbeans4761 "...and T-90 use cannot penetrate the frontal armor of the Abrams..."

You checked it?

WTF the modern war has no need in tanks. Any stupid Arabian may easily burn any vehicle with RPG

[pankratoff67rus]

@TulaKirill yes

[Waltham1892]

The ability of a HEAT warhead to penetrate armor is a function of its diameter, and since a tube launched ATGM is limited to the bore there isn't enough to kill an MBT.

In fact, the SNIPER system is not intended to be used against tanks, but targets like helo's and ATGM vehicles.

Lastly, if I'm in range of a SNIPER system, the SNIPER system is in range of my TOW, Hellfire and artillery.

@Waltham1892 the t90 can shoot guided rockets which are deadly precise and have a superb range so acutaly the abrams wont even have time to come close enough to get off a shot at the t90

[Waltham1892]

Modern rounds fired by the T-72/T-90's 2A46 gun will penetrate the armor of the M-1.

However, the problem is at what range the 2A46 can defeat the M-1's armor.

Without giving away the store, by the time the M-1 is within the lethal range of the 2A46, the T-72/T-90 has been within lethal range of the M-256 for quiet some time.

Add to this the differences between the tanks FCS and crew safety features and life becomes nasty, brutish, and short for the Tango crew.

@franknbeans4761

As a tanker who has crewed an M-1 and lead an M-1 platoon, I don't believe anything other than a heavy dual warhead ATGM, like Hellfire or TOW III, can take an M-1 in its frontal arc.

The bore launched ATGM's used by the Russians, whose diameter is limited by the bore of the gun, stand no chance at all unless they get a flank or rear shot.

If I were to fight an M-1, I would want to get in close and use an APDFS round.

[franknbeans4761]

@nikomo37 That actually isn't true. The rounds that can penetrate Abrams armor are the Mango round and other varying ATGM's. But they are not used by every tank.

[nikomo37]

@franknbeans4761 Projectiles that can't penetrate armor of Abrams are NOT in use in Soviet/Russian army since 1973. Update your information from time to time

[yoshitoranaga1111]

@franknbeans4761 "The weird thing is, the rounds that the T-72, T-80, and T-90 use cannot penetrate the frontal armor of the Abrams." Who told you that?

[IAMaPresident]

@franknbeans4761 It will not only penetrate the tank but will destroy the whole tank :)
